Nitin Gadkari, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways has said that he’s contemplating a legislation to curb the practice of wrongly parked vehicles on the streets. Under the new law, anyone who takes a photo of a wrongly parked vehicle, which often results in the clogging of roads, and sends it to the authorities, he/she will be rewarded for the act.In case the fine on the offender works up to Rs. 1,000, then the person who reported to activity could get a reward of up to Rs. 500.
“My cook in Nagpur also owns two second hand vehicles… Now, a family of four members has six vehicles. It appears that Delhiites are lucky people as we have made road for parking of their vehicles…Nobody makes parking spaces, most of them park their vehicles on streets”. Said Nitin Gadkari
Nitin Gadkari regretted that people do not make parking spaces for their vehicles, instead, their vehicles occupy the road. As of now, neither Gadkari nor the transport ministry has shared more details about this new law which is under consideration, however, if this legislation is passed, we believe it will certainly help deter parking offences.
